[2][3] This year's championships were held in New Hampshire, with the alpine events at Cannon Mountain, near Franconia Notch, and the nordic events at Dartmouth Skiway, near Lyme.

Originally scheduled for March 5–7 at Dartmouth Skiway, rain forced a move of the alpine events to nearby Vermont at Mount Ascutney,[4] and again to Cannon Mountain; the nordic events were held at Dartmouth on Friday.

[2] Four events were held, which yielded seven individual titles.
